If you have 2 minutes, here's the most classic clip of Ballmer: YouTube: Ballmer Laughs at iPhone (smugmacgeek) Oooh, harsh history. You almost pity the guy that the clip is on line, and Mr Ballmer is a hard fellow to pity. I imagine that by now most folks have said something in public they later regret : )
I once said nice things about investment banks and brokers as a good investment to hold for half a year, late 2007 IIRC. Including Lehman Brothers. Oops. As an interesting side note, Lehman was still part of Amex when Berkshire built its big stake (for the second and final time) in the early 1990s.
